7 Managing Pages

The WebCenter Spaces Manage Pages dialog (Figure 7-1) provides easy access to a wide variety of page-related actions. For example, use the dialog to personalize the display order of personal or group space pages; set page creation defaults (personal space pages only); apply page security; hide or show pages in your application view; and create, copy, and delete pages.

Description of "Figure 7-1 The Manage Pages Dialog"

This chapter includes the following sections:

Audience

This chapter is intended for WebCenter Spaces users who intend to manage application pages. By default, every authenticated user can perform the actions described in this chapter on the pages they create in their own personal spaces. Note, however that your application administrator may alter default page access permissions. In group spaces, users must have sufficient access privileges on the group space to manage its pages.

7.1 What You Should Know About the Manage Pages Dialog

The Manage Pages dialog (Figure 7-2) provides quick access to pages and page-management controls.

Figure 7-2 The Manage Pages Dialog

Manage Pages dialog box
Description of "Figure 7-2 The Manage Pages Dialog"

These include:

  • Creating, editing, copying, and deleting pages

  • Hiding and showing pages in your view

  • Exposing a group space page in your personal space

  • Sending a page link through your native mail application

  • Rearranging your view of page display order

  • Setting page security (including making a page public)

  • Setting page creation defaults (personal space pages only)

  • Viewing information about a page, including its direct URL

The Manage Pages dialog is context-aware. When you open it, the dialog renders according to your location in the application. For example, in a group space, the Manage Pages dialog displays all of the pages in that group space. In your personal space, it displays all of the pages in your personal space; additionally, it provides a control for setting page creation defaults for the pages you create in your personal space (Figure 7-3).

Description of "Figure 7-4 The Actions Column and Menu in the Manage Pages Dialog"

Tip:

Actions performed from the Manage Pages dialog take effect when you close the dialog.

The actions that appear on the Actions menu depend upon the page, the point from which the page is opened, and your permissions on the page.

Note:

Most of the actions available on the Actions menu are also available on the pages themselves. An active page—that is, the page currently on view—includes a menu icon with similar controls. You can open this menu from and inactive page by right-clicking the page tab. For more information, see Section 2.6, "Initiating Actions from Tabs." Section 2.6 covers tasks not covered in this chapter, including renaming a page, exposing a group space page in a personal space, and obtaining information about a page.

You can also open pages from the Manage Pages dialog. Simply click the page name in the Name column, and the page opens in WebCenter Spaces. The Manage Pages dialog closes automatically.

7.2 Opening the Manage Pages Dialog

To open to the Manage Pages dialog:

  1. Log in, and go to your personal space or the group space with pages you want to manage.

  2. Open the Page Actions menu, and select the Manage Pages option (Figure 7-5).

7.3 Finding Pages in the Manage Pages Dialog

The Manage Pages dialog includes two features for locating a page or group of pages in a personal or group space: search and filter. Both features render lists of pages that match your search or filter criteria.

This section describes how to use the search and filter features in the Manage Pages dialog. It contains the following subsections:

7.3.1 Searching for Pages in the Manage Pages Dialog

The Manage Pages dialog provides a search feature for quickly locating one or more pages of interest. Search results display in the dialog; click a result to open its associated page in WebCenter Spaces.

When you close the Manage Pages dialog, your search terms are automatically cleared. You can also clear them explicitly by clicking the Clear Search button.

To search for a page in the Manage Pages dialog:

  1. Log in, go to your personal space or the group space you want to search, and open the Manage Pages dialog.

    For information about opening the Manage Pages dialog, see Section 7.2, "Opening the Manage Pages Dialog."

  2. Enter a full or partial search term in the Search field, and then click the Search icon (Figure 7-7).

    Description of "Figure 7-8 The Clear Search Icon"

7.3.2 Filtering Your View of Pages in the Manage Pages Dialog

Filtering enables you to locate pages by name and by the user name of the person who created them. In the Manage Pages dialog, the Show or hide the filter panel icon is a toggle switch you click both to open and close the filter panel (Figure 7-9).

Figure 7-9 The Show or hide the filter panel Icon and the Filter Panel

Show or Hide Filter Panel icon and the Filter panel

When you close the Manage Pages dialog, your filtering terms are automatically cleared. You can also clear them explicitly by deleting your terms from the Filter panel and pressing Enter.

To locate a page by filtering the list of pages in the Manage Pages dialog:

  1. Log in, go to your personal space or the group space in which to locate a page, and open the Manage Pages dialog.

    For information about opening the Manage Pages dialog, see Section 7.2, "Opening the Manage Pages Dialog."

  2. Click the Show or hide the filter panel icon.

  3. In the resulting filter panel, enter a full or partial filtering term in either or both fields above the Name and Created By columns, and press Enter.

    Tip:

    Filtering terms are not case sensitive.

    The Manage Pages dialog refreshes with all pages matching the filtering term(s).

To return the Manage Pages dialog to its default mode, delete your filtering terms and press the Enter key. To close the filter panel, click the Show or hide the filter panel icon.

7.4 Changing the Order of Pages Through the Manage Pages Dialog

By default, pages are arranged in the order they are created. You may want to rearrange the default order, adding emphasis to more critical pages by placing them earlier in the succession of tabs. Such changes are personalizations in that they affect only your view of page order.

See Also:

Group spaces provide controls that enable group space administrators to reorder group space pages for everyone. For more information, see Section 13.5, "Managing Group Space Pages."

To change the order of pages through the Manage Pages dialog:

  1. Log in, go to your personal space or the group space in which to change the display order of pages, and open the Manage Pages dialog.

    For information about opening the Manage Pages dialog, see Section 7.2, "Opening the Manage Pages Dialog."

  2. In the Reorder column, click the up arrow next to a page to move the page higher in the page order (the page's tab is moved closer to the start of tab order); or click the down arrow next to a page to move the page lower in the page order (the page's tab is moved further from the start of tab order).

    Alternatively, click and hold a page row, and drag and drop it to the desired position.

  3. Click the Close button when you finish reordering pages.

    Pages are rendered in the order you specified.

7.5 Setting Page Creation Defaults for Your Personal Pages

Use page creation options to predetermine the values to use in creating pages in your personal space. Normally, when you create a page you are prompted to provide values for the page scheme and page template. Using page creation options, you can specify default values for scheme and template and consequently skip making those selections during page creation.

You can set page creation options for yourself so that every page you create in your personal space uses the same defaults. An administrator can set page creation options for all users' personal spaces. The settings you establish for yourself override any settings an administrator may provide.

See Also:

For information about setting up personal space page creation options for the application, see the "Setting Up a Default Look and Feel for Personal Pages" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter.

The page creation options you set through the Manage Pages dialog influence all the pages you create in your personal space, whether you create them through the Manage Pages dialog or through some other page creation mechanism.

This section provides an overview of default page styles and schemes and describes how to set page creation defaults for your personal space. It includes the following subsections:

7.5.1 Introducing Default Page Schemes and Styles

This section provides two tables that illustrate default page schemes and styles:

Table 7-1 illustrates how each scheme selection looks on a blank page. Note that each scheme selection also provides font and color styles that are not evident on an unpopulated page.

      No—When you create pages in your personal space, have the defaults you set here preselected in the Create Page dialog.

  4. Click Save to save your changes and exit the dialog.

Going forward, when you create pages in your personal space, the defaults you set here determine the scheme and style that are preselected for the new page and whether the Create Page dialog opens.

7.6 Creating a Page Through the Manage Pages Dialog

The Manage Pages dialog provides a means of creating new pages in personal and group spaces. Page creation through the Manage Pages dialog can be affected by whether you are creating a page in a personal space or a group space.

When you create a page in a personal space, either a page is instantly created or the Create Page dialog opens and presents options for determining the page layout and scheme and the scheme background color. What happens is influenced by the default page creation options you select (for more information, see Section 7.5, "Setting Page Creation Defaults for Your Personal Pages").

In a group space, the Create Page dialog always opens.

This section describes page creation as it occurs when the Create Page dialog opens.

See Also:

The Manage Pages dialog provides one way to create pages. Learn another way in Chapter 8, "Creating, Editing, and Deleting Pages."

To create a page through the Manage Pages dialog:

  1. Log in, go to your personal space or the group space in which to create a page, and open the Manage Pages dialog.

    For information about opening the Manage Pages dialog, see Section 7.2, "Opening the Manage Pages Dialog."

  2. Click the Create Page button.

    If your default page creation page options are preset to omit prompting you with page creation options, the page is created without further steps (for more information, see Section 7.5, "Setting Page Creation Defaults for Your Personal Pages").

    Otherwise, the Create Page dialog opens (Figure 7-12).

    Figure 7-12 The Create Page Dialog

    Create Page dialog box
    Description of "Figure 7-12 The Create Page Dialog"

  3. In the Create Page dialog, enter a display name for the page in the Page Name field.

    The name you enter here appears on the page's tab and in the Manage Pages dialog.

  4. Optionally, from the Scheme dropdown list, select a scheme for the page.

    The scheme provides a seeded background image or enables you to select your own background image. For illustrations of seeded schemes, see Table 7-1.

  5. Optionally, pick a background color for the page from the Scheme Background Color dropdown list.

  6. If you selected Custom from the Scheme dropdown list, enter the URL to the custom image you want to use for your page background in the Scheme Background Image field.

    Enter, for example:

    http://mycompany.com/images/chinwig/cologo_small.gif

    This field appears only when Custom is selected from the Default Scheme dropdown list.

  7. Select the style you want to apply to the new page.

    For an illustration and description of each page style, see Table 7-2.

  8. Click the Create button.

    The page is created and immediately displayed in edit mode in Oracle Composer. From here, you can add files, task flows, and other types of content and share your information with others.

    See Also:

    After you create a page, the following sections may be useful to you as you take your next steps:

7.7 Setting and Revoking Page Access Permissions

Within a given personal or group space, you can assign different page access privileges to different users or user roles. For example, you can share page management access with a coworker who is jointly leading a particular effort. You may want to give customization access to your team, or editorial access to a colleague who normally would only be able to view the page.

You can use the page access settings available through the Manage Pages dialog to provide page access to a select list of specified users and user roles. You can also use page access settings to make a page publicly available.

This section describes how to configure custom page access. It contains the following subsections.

Note:

By default, all group space pages are automatically visible to all group space members. Using the procedure described in this section, you can set explicit access on a group space page to restrict it to a set of users or roles.

See Also:

Making a group space or a group space page publicly accessible is an administrative function. For more information, see Section 13.12.3, "Granting Public Access to a Group Space."

7.7.1 Setting Custom Page Access

To configure custom page access through the Manage Pages dialog:

  1. Log in, go to your personal space or the group space in which to configure custom page access, and open the Manage Pages dialog.
